== Climate == Namwon has a [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Dwa''), but can be considered a borderline [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cwa'') using the {{convert|-3|C}} isotherm. The average yearly temperature of Namwon is {{convert|12.3|°C}} with the average temperature in January being {{convert|−1.4|°C}} and {{convert|25.2|°C}} in August. Due to its location in a mountainous basin with a high rate of [[Precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]], the climate of Namwon varies greatly. Winds in Namwon are usually weak and blow north to west in the winter and south to west in the summer. However, temperatures can sometimes (briefly) drop below {{convert|−10|°C}} in January with wind chills making it feel as though it were below {{convert|−15|°C}}. These winds are part of a cold front that comes down from [[Siberia]] for a very brief time. Temperatures in July and August can often reach {{convert|33|°C}}, with the humidity making it feel as though it were {{convert|100|°F|disp=flip}}. The humidity over the Korean peninsula from June through September comes from south east Asia. Temperatures in spring (late April and through May) and fall (after September 25 and through October) are often in the mid 20s °C (73–80 °F) and with low humidity. {{Weather box | location = Namwon (1991–2020 normals, extremes 1972–present) | metric first = Y | single line = Y | Jan record high C = 17.5 | Feb record high C = 22.3 | Mar record high C = 26.9 | Apr record high C = 30.9 | May record high C = 35.2 | Jun record high C = 35.9 | Jul record high C = 37.5 | Aug record high C = 37.2 | Sep record high C = 35.8 | Oct record high C = 31.4 | Nov record high C = 26.7 | Dec record high C = 19.8 | year record high C = 37.5 | Jan high C = 5.0 | Feb high C = 7.9 | Mar high C = 13.4 | Apr high C = 19.8 | May high C = 24.8 | Jun high C = 28.0 | Jul high C = 30.0 | Aug high C = 30.7 | Sep high C = 27.0 | Oct high C = 21.6 | Nov high C = 14.4 | Dec high C = 7.1 | year high C = 19.1 | Jan mean C = -1.3 | Feb mean C = 0.9 | Mar mean C = 5.9 | Apr mean C = 11.9 | May mean C = 17.6 | Jun mean C = 22.1 | Jul mean C = 25.2 | Aug mean C = 25.4 | Sep mean C = 20.6 | Oct mean C = 13.6 | Nov mean C = 6.9 | Dec mean C = 0.6 | year mean C = 12.5 | Jan low C = -6.6 | Feb low C = -5.0 | Mar low C = -0.8 | Apr low C = 4.4 | May low C = 10.7 | Jun low C = 16.9 | Jul low C = 21.4 | Aug low C = 21.4 | Sep low C = 15.6 | Oct low C = 7.3 | Nov low C = 0.9 | Dec low C = -4.7 | year low C = 6.8 | Jan record low C = −21.9 | Feb record low C = −19.3 | Mar record low C = −11.6 | Apr record low C = −6.2 | May record low C = −0.9 | Jun record low C = 6.3 | Jul record low C = 12.0 | Aug record low C = 9.6 | Sep record low C = 3.8 | Oct record low C = −3.7 | Nov record low C = −13.6 | Dec record low C = −19.3 | year record low C = -21.9 | precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation mm = 28.5 | Feb precipitation mm = 39.4 | Mar precipitation mm = 56.7 | Apr precipitation mm = 81.8 | May precipitation mm = 90.5 | Jun precipitation mm = 157.3 | Jul precipitation mm = 303.2 | Aug precipitation mm = 313.3 | Sep precipitation mm = 144.2 | Oct precipitation mm = 63.0 | Nov precipitation mm = 45.3 | Dec precipitation mm = 30.0 | year precipitation mm = 1353.2 | unit precipitation days = 0.1 mm | Jan precipitation days = 8.3 | Feb precipitation days = 7.3 | Mar precipitation days = 8.5 | Apr precipitation days = 8.5 | May precipitation days = 8.7 | Jun precipitation days = 10.0 | Jul precipitation days = 15.3 | Aug precipitation days = 14.7 | Sep precipitation days = 9.3 | Oct precipitation days = 6.1 | Nov precipitation days = 7.6 | Dec precipitation days = 8.6 | year precipitation days = | Jan snow days = 8.1 | Feb snow days = 5.4 | Mar snow days = 1.8 | Apr snow days = 0.4 | May snow days = 0.0 | Jun snow days = 0.0 | Jul snow days = 0.0 | Aug snow days = 0.0 | Sep snow days = 0.0 | Oct snow days = 0.0 | Nov snow days = 2.4 | Dec snow days = 6.6 | year snow days = 24.3 | Jan humidity = 70.2 | Feb humidity = 65.6 | Mar humidity = 63.3 | Apr humidity = 61.9 | May humidity = 65.0 | Jun humidity = 71.4 | Jul humidity = 78.9 | Aug humidity = 78.2 | Sep humidity = 75.4 | Oct humidity = 73.3 | Nov humidity = 72.7 | Dec humidity = 72.7 | year humidity = 70.7 | Jan sun = 163.6 | Feb sun = 175.4 | Mar sun = 209.5 | Apr sun = 221.9 | May sun = 235.7 | Jun sun = 188.2 | Jul sun = 159.8 | Aug sun = 180.4 | Sep sun = 179.2 | Oct sun = 196.9 | Nov sun = 163.2 | Dec sun = 155.7 | year sun = 2229.5 | Jan percentsun = 50.5 | Feb percentsun = 56.9 | Mar percentsun = 54.7 | Apr percentsun = 56.6 | May percentsun = 51.4 | Jun percentsun = 42.0 | Jul percentsun = 35.9 | Aug percentsun = 42.2 | Sep percentsun = 48.7 | Oct percentsun = 56.4 | Nov percentsun = 52.5 | Dec percentsun = 51.2 | year percentsun = 49.4 | source = [[Korea Meteorological Administration]] (snow and percent sunshine 1981–2010)<ref name= KMA> {{cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220129211110/https://data.kma.go.kr/resources/normals/pdf_data/korea_pdf_0106_v2.pdf | archive-date = 29 January 2022 | url = https://data.kma.go.kr/resources/normals/pdf_data/korea_pdf_0106_v2.pdf | title = Climatological Normals of Korea (1991 ~ 2020) | publisher = Korea Meteorological Administration | access-date = 4 April 2022 | language = ko}}</ref><ref name= KMAextremes> {{cite web | url = https://data.kma.go.kr/climate/extremum/selectExtremumList.do?pgmNo=103 | publisher = Korea Meteorological Administration | access-date = 4 April 2022 | script-title = ko:순위값 - 구역별조회 | language = ko}}</ref><ref name= KMAnormals> {{cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161207185450/http://www.kma.go.kr/down/Climatological_2010.pdf | archive-date = 7 December 2016 | url = http://www.kma.go.kr/down/Climatological_2010.pdf | publisher = Korea Meteorological Administration | access-date = 8 December 2016 | title = Climatological Normals of Korea | date = 2011}}</ref> }}
